Sukamade Turtle Beach

Sukamade Beach is a natural tourist destination located in Meru Betiri National Park, East Java. The beach is famous as a nesting site for sea turtles, especially green turtles and hawksbill turtles, making it an important location for marine wildlife conservation. The area remains pristine and largely untouched by large-scale development, offering visitors a serene experience with wide sandy shores, black sand, and the soothing sound of ocean waves.

Visitors can also learn more about turtles at the on-site turtle conservation center. Here, they can observe the care of turtle eggs until they hatch, as well as understand the conservation efforts to protect these endangered species. This educational experience makes a trip to Sukamade Beach not only a recreational visit but also an opportunity to learn about marine ecosystems and environmental preservation.

One of the most exciting activities for tourists is the release of baby turtles into the ocean. Every day, newly hatched turtles are guided into the sea to start their life journey. This activity provides a hands-on experience of the turtle life cycle and raises awareness about the importance of protecting their natural habitat. The moment becomes an unforgettable memory, especially for children, who actively participate in helping sustain sea turtle populations.
